Ongoing: Dickens Fair

The annual and festive Dickens Fair has hit the Cow Palace in San Francisco in 2018 for its 36th season. Be sure to check the Chronicle's guide to the long-running event here before you indulge in too much grog.

The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus will help the Castro usher in the holiday season with the neighborhood's official tree lighting. The event is free to attend and will be hosted by the "First Lady of the Castro," Donna Sachet.

The drag queens of the Bay Area will lace up their ice skates once again for the 9th annual Drag Queens on Ice event at the Union Square Ice Rink in San Francisco. The event is free to attend, though attendees will need to buy tickets to skate during the same session.

Musician and pop star John Legend will embark on a tour this year and will make a stop in Oakland in the final days leading up to Christmas. He will play songs from his new holiday album, "A Legendary Christmas."
